The time between the first impact and the time when the DS runs out of hp will stay completely identical. There are important things to push for as a DS pilot, trying to avoid this change is not among them. Trying to avoid unavoidable, no skill damage is important for pilots. Swarms DESTROY Incubus with absolutely no effort to the point that the only reliable counter is to always be running away. Giving players who don't want to aim easier ways to apply great damage at no effort on their part isn't exactly good for pilots. I swear people think ADS`s are indestructible or something. They are very easy to kill or at the very least push far far away as long as you have proto AV. Hell even plasma cannons do an ok job now a days.
Pythons are easy to kill? I don't find them easy to kill, even if I get two clean forge shots before they react they usually have time to fly over me and blast a few shots at me, making me choose between standing there for 3 seconds waiting for a charge and not moving so I don't miss or moving and losing all the damage I did 10 seconds later. Either way the option is always there for them to fly away and fly back, now knowing exactly where I am and them fully regenned. Simple question, do you kill more AV than AV kills you?
When it comes to Pythons I never get a kill unless the pilot makes a big mistake or someone else also hits them in that 10 second window. The best I can hope for is to frustrate them, and before someone makes the argument that 2 AV'ers can unfairly control the airspace imagine being 1AV'er facing 2 Pythons and compare that situation.
Both sides have obstacles and things that could use some tweaking. I am alright with DS escaping IF in order to kill us they have to stick around long enough for us to kill them.
I feel I need to state it every time but I am willing to wait on any more changes to AV/DS balance. It is not right but it is not broken. It is cloaked scouts in conjuction with DS that may be broken.
Because, that's why.
